You would see the cypher on things including post boxes and police helmets
King Charles III's new cypher has been revealed. The monogram features the King’s initial C intertwined with the letter R for Rex – Latin for King – with III within the R denoting Charles III. The crown sits above the letters.
While our currency and stamps will gradually be changed to reflect the new monarch's reign, consider also items bearing the Royal Warrant - everything from Ketchup to tea bags - and even the detail on some of the post boxes on our streets may also look slightly different.Charles’ cypher was revealed on Monday, September 27, ahead of the official period of royal mourning ending. It will appear on government buildings, state documents and on some post boxes in the coming months and years.
The change over process will be a gradual one and in some instances the cyphers of previous monarchs can still be seen on public buildings and street furniture, especially post boxes. The College of Arms, which designed the cyphers, was founded in 1484.
